I would pass on the Nitrous for now

Get the pulley, chip, intake, cobra water pump, and a set of NGK TR6's from who ever you like.

Get the JDM electric fan

in place of the nitrous get a set of traction bars and some slicks.

Thats my sugestion

Do a 1-2 drop, some sort of rear traction bars, then get some new wheels and rubber. Including an extra set for the strip. If you go cheap on the wheels (or not at all) put a bigger stall converter in.

How much would a new shortblock cost? I havnt seen any prices on them...wouldnt a simple rebuild kit (around $2000) be sufficiet?
